AHHH oh boy here we go again. SINGLE TIRE FIRE.... i think this is where my vibration is coming from on top speeds. What causes this. Did i break the c-clip...

thanks guys

If you broke the c clip the axle would have came out along with the tire, unless you had disc brakes and I guess that could hold it in. But the C clip is only there to hold in the axle. The splines on the axle are what make it turn. If you have a Trac lok rear end chances are you've burnt up or wore out the clutches in the clutch pak for the rear end.

well it is a stock rear end with 373's what could it be then

thanks

Most likely the clutches are worn in the rear end. ~Brian

drtbiker · 07-14-2003, 09:38 AM

how much work is that and what all does that intitle me to. I am still trying to decied what to do. I was thinking about parting out the car or bringing it back to stock and selling it but if i can get this mess all straightend out i think i may keep it. But then i have to worry about the emmisions.

thanks
raini

anyone know where i can get this fixed for cheap i dont like messing with rear ends.

About $50-$60 for a traction lock rebuild kit. Place an extra clutch on each side to tighten it up. You can do it at home with a little knowhow.

where is the best place to purchase this?

silver_pilate · 07-28-2003, 02:05 PM

Call a tranny/rear end shop in your area and ask if they sell the ford Traction Lock rebuild kits. If not, they can probably tell you where to get one.

I just recently rebuilt mine, and i've never even done it before, i bought mine(clutch paks) from the dealer 77$, the hardest part is getting the s-spring back in, and you can replace the spring with one from an f-150, and you will get more bite.
The spider gears were a little challenging, but i finished all mine in one day, taking my time.
I did go through some frustrating times, but it was worth it, no more "one wheel wonder"

do a search to find some links, i followed a link from the corral, it had some pretty good info, like on how to get the spring back in, i did what they did, and used hose clamps, and a sledge hammer

drtbiker · 07-28-2003, 08:57 PM

What year of F-150 can you use the s-spring out of? Did you end up reusing your stock one?

drtbiker · 07-30-2003, 01:01 AM
